Every driver should get to reap the rewards that getting preventative maintenance brings. If you stop by your MINI dealership regularly for fluid top-offs and tune-ups, then you’ll see the benefits of it for years to come.

5 Benefits of Getting Preventative Maintenance at Your MINI Dealership

1. It Keeps You and Your Car Safe

The better maintained your car is, the safer it will be. When you get routine maintenance, you know it’s very unlikely that there’s a hidden problem with your car that’s going to come to a peak in the middle of the highway. You’re unlikely to suddenly blow out a tire, find your brakes unresponsive, or totally break down unexpectedly. Getting routine maintenance ensures all of your car’s components remain in great condition.

2. It Helps Your Car Last Longer

Cars that don’t undergo routine maintenance won’t last as long as cars that do. If you don’t maintain your car well, then small problems will show up over the years, and they’ll get more serious as time goes on. Eventually, the car will have so many problems that it may be more cost-effective to get a new car than to pay to have your current one fixed.

3. It Helps You Save Money

Routine maintenance doesn’t break the bank, but a costly repair certainly can. For instance, if your mechanic discovers a small leak in your cooling system, then it’s straightforward and cost-effective to fix.

If you forego routine maintenance, then you may never know you have a leak in the cooling system. This can lead to your cooling system becoming less effective, causing your engine to overheat. When your engine overheats, it can sustain severe damage that costs thousands of dollars to repair.

4. It Keeps Your Car’s Value Up

Well-maintained cars retain more of their value than poorly maintained ones. Cars that undergo routine service are more reliable, are going to last longer, and will need fewer repairs when the dealer takes the car off your hands. Plus, buyers will pay more for a car that has a complete service history.

5. It Improves Your Fuel Economy

Cars that don’t undergo routine maintenance develop problems that can decrease fuel economy. If you miss your oil changes, then your engine won’t be adequately lubricated and has to work harder to power the car. This uses more gas. When your spark plugs are faulty, the engine has to work harder still, further reducing fuel economy. Even under-inflated tires can reduce your fuel economy, leading to lots of time and money spent at the gas pump.
